Apricot Cheese Danish

Ingredients

  • B&R Farms Apricot Spread
  • 1 box of puff pastry
  • 8 oz cream cheese 
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp water
  • Icing (optional)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F and prepare your baking sheets.
  2. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add in egg yolk and vanilla, mix until combined, and set aside. 
  4. Sprinkle some flour on your workstation and roll out puff pastry sheets to flatten out the creases.
  5. Cut each pastry into your ideal size, we did roughly 3.5x4 in squares! 
  6. In a small bowl combine your egg and water to make your egg wash.
  7. Brush the edges of your pastry with the egg wash and fold over each corner toward the center and press so it sticks.
  8. Add a dollop of cream cheese filling in the center and top with Apricot Spread.
  9. Lightly egg wash any exposed pastry and bake for 15-20 minutes.
  10. Allow to cool - If you'd like to add a sweet icing combine the powdered sugar, milk and vanilla and whisk together, drizzled on top and enjoy!
